Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane questions

What are the Lightning Lane tiers at Magic Kingdom?

Magic Kingdom splits its Lightning Lane Multi Pass rides into two tiers. Tier 1 has 5 rides, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Space Mountain, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Tier 2 has the other 13 attractions. Your first three advance picks are one Tier 1 plus two Tier 2, or three from Tier 2.

Which Tier 1 ride should I pick at Magic Kingdom?

Peter Pan's Flight. It carries the longest typical standby wait of the Tier 1 rides at Magic Kingdom, about 39 minutes, so it skips the most line. Save the rides you can walk onto at rope drop for later.

How much is Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Magic Kingdom?

Multi Pass at Magic Kingdom runs about $23 to $45 per person per day, lowest on quiet dates and highest on holidays and peak weeks. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ($13 on Oct 27) and TRON Lightcycle / Run ($21 on Oct 27) are sold separately as Single Pass.

Is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run on Lightning Lane Multi Pass?

No. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run are Single Pass only, bought one ride at a time, up to two Single Pass rides per person per day. You do not need Multi Pass to buy a Single Pass.

Do the tiers still apply after my first three rides?

No. The tier rule only covers the three picks you book ahead. Once you tap into your first Lightning Lane, you can book another from any tier, and you keep doing that each time you use one, as long as you have not already ridden that attraction that day.

When can I book Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane?

Guests at Disney resort hotels can book seven days before check-in, for their whole stay. Everyone else books three days before the visit. Booking opens at 7 AM Eastern, and the best Tier 1 return times go first.
